And you can say "Coach, that's enough" loud enough for your partners to hear and get the meaning also.
Personally, I'm not fond of comments like "You're done officiating tonight". You're sureashell inviting a return comment from the coach like "Well, somebody has to officiate. You're not". And then you have to deal with that one.
The fewer neutral words used, the better.

Totally agree, you're only baiting the coach into another snippy comment using these types of one liners. Just warn or wack him and be done with it. Noone is impressed with your clever comebacks, they seldom work.
